I think Ricky got a little exposed as a 147 lb fighter last night. I think he was exposed as not being this super human Mayweather beater that he has been hyped up to be for a while.
Collazo is a big guy and he looked very good. The guy he won the title from has now gone on to become a world champ at light middle weight so that tells you Collazo is no joke.
I'm not sure Ricky would fare very well against some of the bigger guys in this division. Margarito and Cintron for example look so much bigger than Ricky I'd doubt he would have the physical advantage that his style of fighting needs against these guys.
Personally I think Ricky would be better of going back down to 140 and challenging the winner of Castillo Coralles. Cotto is still down there for now as well so no real need to be at 147 lb.
Hatton will not beat Mayweather, none of the current bunch will. Floyd won't lose until he fights Joel Julio in 2008 at 154.
